She had a red-painted thumb
With the Jolly Roger lined in black
She wore a neon blue wet suit
And carried a neoprene sack
What was in the sack?
Not Jack, not gin, nor rum
She carried the ghost of her father
And the phantom of her adventuring mum
Elizabeth was her name
And she sought no fortune nor fame
Her journey had just begun
And again, she carried no rum
The blasted pirates might get her
The raging sea beset her
She had to get to Nassau harbour
To find her meandering mum
The time chute swallowed her whole
Onto the ruffian's sloop she emerged
Face to face she came with the captain
And his sword Where is my mother! she demanded
To the brig with you! he commanded
And Elizabeth found herself trapped In his pigheaded world
Now she needed the rum
If she was ever to find her mum
And learn what happened to her pirate hunter dad
It was so sad
The day he was lost
Was the day Elizabeth Latimer became
A pirate host
And now she is forever haunted
Because of the pirate ghost
Be safe,
Karen
